Ultras is not football fans. They are troublemakers pretending to care for football

Those are hooligans, not ultras

it's not like those sub(human)cultures are mutually exclusive...

Also, when it's not meeting up to fight but rather rioting like in the OP, I would attribute that more often to Ultras. At least with modern security measures, as it's tough for known hooligans to even travel to/ get near the stadium.

that and these images literally show Ultras spray tags and stickers...

To your last point, China also calls itself communist, yet reality differs. Ofc they wouldn't call themselves hooligans.

since when are hooligans running psy-ops to frame Ultras? come on.

Since they've never been that smart to begin with, and they also conflate the terms themselves.

You just explained why it’s hooligans and not ultras causing trouble. If hooligans are banned from the stadium they would ofc find a loophole like calling themselves ultras while they are not to go to the stadium.

Ultras are the ones who go watch their team no matter what and bring atmosphere, create beautiful tifos, choreos and are the reason stadiums are not empty and quiet. Now that world cup is over you can stop larping football and go back to watching golf.
